Best Organic Mattresses 2025

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOTS and GOLS | Firmness: Firm (7), medium (6) or plush (4) | Trial: 365 nights | Warranty: 25 years

Best for: Eco-conscious shoppers; all sleeping positions; those who enjoy a bouncier mattress

Pros: 

• Holds a dozen eco-conscious certifications 
• Made with certified organic latex, wool and cotton
• Available in three comfort levels

Cons: 

• Heavy and difficult to move
• Medium and plush models cost more than the firm

The Avocado Green earned our title for the best organic mattress overall because every detail is made with sustainability in mind. The mattress sports an impressive number of eco-conscious certifications, including ones from Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS), Made Safe and Greenguard Gold, indicating that all the materials used are free of harmful substances. Not to mention, it’s Fair Trade certified, meaning that the factories used to assemble the mattress promote sustainable practices, safe working conditions and livable wages.

The best part: These organic and eco-friendly certifications don’t come at the expense of comfort. During testing, we found that the Avocado Green is supportive with a lifted feel. The standard firm model is a good choice for stomach sleepers, while the medium and plush varieties are a better pick for back and side sleepers who need a bit more pressure relief. One of our mattress testers, who slept on the plush version of the Avocado Green, said “it’s extremely soft and has a cloud-like feel. It’s easy to move around on the mattress and change positions without the feeling of getting ‘stuck,’ like you might with memory foam.” That said, the medium and plush models do come at an additional cost at $2,099 and $2,899, respectively, when not on sale.

What our writers say: “I tested the standard firm version of the Avocado Green, and I was immediately impressed with the bed’s buoyant feel,” says mattress updates writer Alexandra Garrett. “Whether I laid on my stomach, back or side, I felt comfortable, lifted and supported.” For further insights, read our Avocado Green Mattress review.

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOLS | Firmness: Medium-firm (6 to 7) | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: Lifetime

Best for: People who switch between their back, side and stomach; hot sleepers

Pros: 

• Versatile medium-firm feel 
• Great ease of moment
• Breathable; good for hot sleepers

Cons: 

• Too firm for strict side sleepers 
• Motion isolation is lacking a bit

Combination sleepers need a mattress that can support most sleeping positions and lets you comfortably shift from one position to the next. Of all the organic mattresses we’ve considered for this list, the Birch Natural mattress impressed us most for combination sleepers because of its versatile medium-firm feel and buoyant support. Plus, it’s made with Greenguard Gold and Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) certified materials, meaning it’s free of harmful chemicals and substances. Its cotton cover and wool layers add a touch of comfort and breathability, while its organic latex and core of 1,000 individually wrapped coils offer substantial support and pressure relief. If you’re a strict side sleeper though, the Birch Natural Luxe is a better choice due to its softer feel.

What our editors say: “Birch delivers a true latex foam feel that makes you feel lifted and supported with just enough cushion from the wool batting to provide ample comfort and pressure relief,” says sleep and mattress editor McKenzie Dillon. “As a stomach sleeper I find the mattress supportive and comfortable, but it’s likely too firm for those who favor their side.”

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: None | Firmness: Medium (6) | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: 20 years

Best for: Lightweight individuals; side sleepers; people who need ample pressure relief

Pros: 

• Ample pressure relief
• Medium feel to cushion joints 
• Rainforest Alliance and Eco-Institut certified latex

Cons: 

• No GOTS or GOLS certification
• Motion isolation is just okay

As a diehard side sleeper, I can’t stress enough the importance of a pressure-relieving bed. By cushioning sensitive joints, a side sleeper-friendly mattress eliminates much of the stress felt on the hips and shoulders, which minimizes morning aches and pains. Speaking of which, we found that the Amerisleep Organica is the most ideal organic option for avid side sleepers because it combines coils with wool and Talalay latex comfort layers to provide more pressure relief than you’d expect from a latex hybrid bed. It’s soft enough to cradle your knees, hips and shoulders but supportive enough to keep you in proper alignment. Plus, the latex used inside the mattress is certified by the Rainforest Alliance and Eco-Institut, meaning that it’s sustainably produced, while the wool holds an OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certification, indicating that it’s been tested for harmful substances. Unlike other mattresses in this guide though, the Amerisleep Organica doesn’t currently hold a GOTS or GOLS certification.

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOLS | Firmness: Medium (6) | Trial: 120 nights | Warranty: Lifetime

Best for: Individuals with back or joint pain; side and combination sleepers; those who sleep warm

Pros: 

• Good pressure relief for back and joints
• Softer than other latex beds
• Made with certified organic latex

Cons: 

• Available in just one firmness level

According to our sleep experts, a good mattress for back pain needs to provide a balance of pressure relief and support to keep the spine comfortable while in a neutral alignment. Of all the organic mattresses on our list, we felt that the Nolah Natural mattress does this best. The bed is made with pressure-relieving organic Talalay latex, which is great for sleepers with chronic back and joint pain. It also features zoned steel coils at the base of the mattress to deliver targeted support to high-pressure areas along the spine. The mattress excels at regulating body temperature, as well, thanks to its cotton cover and hole-punched latex layers, meaning it’s a good pick for hot sleepers.

What our editors say: “The Nolah Natural reminds me of one of my favorite beds that no longer exists. It offers a bouncy, supportive latex foam feel with more pressure relief and cushion than other models I’ve tested—almost like it’s a blend of memory foam and latex foam,” says Dillon. “It’s also softer than most latex foam mattresses I’ve tested, making it a good option for side and combination sleepers who need a little more give for the hips and shoulders.”

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOTS and GOLS | Firmness: Medium-firm (7) | Trial: 365 nights | Warranty: 20 years

Best for: Sleepers who enjoy medium-firm support; combination sleepers

Pros: 

• Nice balance of support and comfort
• Medium-firm feel accommodates a variety of sleepers
• GOLS-certified Dunlop latex

Cons: 

• Sleeps warmer than Talalay latex beds

While most of the beds on our list are hybrid mattresses, we especially appreciate the balanced all-around feel of the My Green Mattress Kiwi Organic, making it our pick for the best organic hybrid mattress. In particular, we like how it’s both supportive and comfortable with a 7-zone pocketed coil innerspring system and GOLS- and Oeko-Tex-certified Dunlop latex comfort layer. (To note: Dunlop latex tends to be firmer and can sleep warmer than Talalay.) The coils ensure that the body stays in neutral alignment, while the latex layer provides pressure relief for a “best-of-both-worlds” feel that caters to a variety of sleepers. It’s also topped with a quilted GOTS-certified organic cotton and wool mattress cover that lends a touch of breathability.

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOTS and GOLS | Firmness: Medium (6) | Trial: 365 nights | Warranty: Lifetime

Best for: Back and stomach sleepers; people who enjoy a responsive bed; those who sleep warm

Pros: 

• Supportive, buoyant feel
• Breathable coil base
• Organic latex, cotton and wool sleeps cool

Cons: 

• Returns cost $99
• Made to order; takes longer to ship

Hot sleepers need a mattress that keeps them cool and curbs the dreaded night sweats. While most latex mattresses naturally sleep cooler than their memory foam counterparts, our favorite organic mattress for hot sleepers is the Saatva Latex Hybrid. It’s almost made entirely of sustainable materials that are certified organic, natural and recycled. In fact, the mattress holds certifications from GOTS, GOLS, Eco-Institut and Greenguard Gold. Its zoned pocketed coils are made with recycled steel, while its comfort layers are made of certified organic latex, cotton and wool. The combination of the bed’s moisture-wicking, eco-friendly materials and breathable coil base makes the Saatva Latex Hybrid among the coolest organic mattresses on the market.

What our editors say: “The Saatva Latex Hybrid tested well for responsiveness—its buoyant feel makes it easy to move around on,” says senior mattress editor Bridget Chapman. “I found it to have a slightly firmer feel, which is most comfortable while back or stomach sleeping. It also showed strong edge support, so you can sit or sleep near the edge of the bed without issue.”

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOTS | Firmness: Firm (8) and medium-firm (6) | Trial: 120 nights | Warranty: 10 years

Best for: Back, stomach and combination sleepers; people who want multiple firmnesses in one bed; people with back pain

Pros: 

• Supportive with a durable design
• Flippable, with different firmnesses on each side

Cons: 

• Not a huge difference between medium-firm and firm sides

The regular Plank Firm is our all-around favorite firm mattress of 2025, and the natural version of this bed adds a few eco-conscious touches to appeal to sustainable-mined sleepers. The mattress features organic cotton and wool at the very top and bottom of the bed, while the middle has layers of natural latex and a core of encased coils. Like the Plank Firm, the Plank Firm Natural mattress is supportive and durable. It also features a flippable design that allows you to choose between a medium-firm feel, which the brand rates a 6 out of 10 on its firmness scale, and a firmer feel that’s rated an 8 out of 10. The medium-firm side is best for back sleepers who need both lift and cushioning, while the firm side is best for stomach sleepers who need optimal support. 

What our editors say: “Both sides of the Plank Firm Natural had a similar firm feel—with the extra-firm side being just a touch firmer,” says Chapman. “It’s a really bouncy bed, so combination sleepers can move around with ease. It also tested well for edge support, so you can use the full surface of the mattress. And to my surprise, it did a good job isolating motion, too.”

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOLS and GOTS | Firmness: Medium (5) or medium-firm (6) | Trial: 90 nights | Warranty: 15 years

Best for: Budget-minded shoppers looking for an organic bed; side and back sleepers; couples

Pros: 

• Affordable at under $1,000 (when on sale)
• Available in two firmness levels
• Made of organic and eco-friendly materials

Cons: 

• Relatively short trial period 

Because organic mattresses are made with high-quality, sustainable materials, they can be a little pricy. However, there are more affordable beds that are still worth considering, like the Eco Terra Hybrid Latex mattress. It has similar certifications to the Avocado Green, our favorite organic mattress overall, but it’s considerably less expensive. It’s also completely free of synthetic foams, as well as any chemical flame retardants or adhesives. Additionally, it earned certifications from GOLS, GOTS and Oeko-Tex Standard 100, meaning it’s made with organic latex, cotton and wool that’s been tested for harmful substances. The Eco Terra Hybrid Latex mattress comes in two comfort levels, medium or medium-firm. Generally, we recommend the medium model to sleepers who prefer a softer, plusher bed and the medium-firm model to those who appreciate a bit more support.

What our editors say: Senior baby gear editor Margaret Badore has been sleeping on the medium-firm Eco Terra Mattress with her husband for about three years. “Our sleep immediately improved when we got this mattress,” she says. “It has that nice balance of support and plushness you want from a hybrid mattress, but without any worry about the chemicals found in memory foam. I spent a lot of time researching sustainably made mattresses before picking this one. Compared to other mattresses made with the same organic materials, it’s also a great value.”

Type: Latex | Organic certifications: GOLS and GOTS | Firmness: Medium (5.5) or medium-firm (8) | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: Lifetime

Best for: Back, side and combination sleepers; those seeking a hotel-like bed; people with back and joint pain concerns

Pros: 

• Balance of support and pressure relief
• Features a thick organic latex core
• Available in multiple heights and firmnesses

Cons: 

• Trial is short for the price 
• Taller and softer models cost more

If you’re searching for a more lavish sleep experience, we recommend the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss mattress. Made with a thick GOLS-certified latex core instead of coils, the bed provides a good amount of pressure relief and support that makes falling asleep a little more luxurious. It comes in two comfort levels and three heights to cater to a variety of sleep preferences. According to PlushBeds, the medium option is ideal for side sleepers, who need ample cushioning to relieve pressure around the hips and shoulders, and the medium-firm model is ideal for back or stomach sleepers, who both need more support. Similar to our top pick, the Avocado Green, the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss holds a host of organic and eco-conscious certifications, including ones from GOLS, GOTS, Greengaurd Gold, Eco-Institut and Control Union.

What our editors say: “I found the PlushBeds Botanical Bliss in the medium model to have a true medium-firm feel,” said Chapman. “It felt a little firmer at first, but as I settled into the bed, the layers cradled my joints—this mix of support and pressure relief felt especially comfortable back sleeping. Combination sleepers should also like this bed since you don’t feel stuck in any given position.”

Type: Latex hybrid | Organic certifications: GOLS | Firmness: Soft and firm | Trial: 100 nights | Warranty: Lifetime

Best for: kids aged 3 to 12; combination sleepers

Pros: 

• Flippable to accommodate different ages
• Made without harsh chemicals or fiberglass

Cons: 

• Only available in twin and full sizes

The Birch Kids Natural mattress is one of our favorite beds for children overall. Named the “most comfortable mattress for kids” in our guide to the best children’s mattresses, the Birch Kids Natural features a flippable, dual-sided design to provide the appropriate combination of comfort and support for children of all ages. One side of the mattress is firmer for kids ages 3 to 7. For 8- to 12-year-old kids, the mattress can be flipped to the other side, which has a softer feel. Both sides of the bed are fitted with a hypoallergenic cotton mattress cover and layers of wool, which acts as a natural flame retardant, so there’s no need for harsh chemicals or fiberglass as a fire barrier. 

What our editors say: Rose Gordon Sala, deputy editor at Forbes Vetted (who has an extensive resume as a parenting editor), selected this mattress for her daughter. “She loves the responsiveness of the Talalay latex, which has provided the best comfort for her side sleeping position,” Sala says. “She’s a tween athlete and growing fast, and we both noticed that she wakes up with fewer aches and pains after we switched to a natural Birch mattress.”

If you’re looking to eliminate toxins from your home or deal with serious allergies, an organic mattress is a worthwhile investment. These beds rely on naturally-derived and organically-produced materials, which means they don’t have many of the chemicals that can be associated with certain health risks like asthma. They also reduce your exposure to the off-gassing that comes with many foam products.
